How our taco bar hire works in Arpinge
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. At barn and marquee parties and birthday celebrations, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Arpinge, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Arpinge: venues, access and set-up
Arpinge is about 1 mile south-west of Hawkinge, in Kent. Anywhere in CT18, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We cover 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
After a christening or wedding at a church such as St Oswald's Church, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. If people are travelling in by rail, Folkestone West station is about 1.7 miles away. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Arpinge, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by. With the sea within about 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.

Arpinge: your questions answered
How far is Arpinge from London?
It’s about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Arpinge?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will confirm what’s needed. We also need the venue’s permission.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Winter evenings in Arpinge close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

What else we do in Arpinge
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
